Software systems * Processes * Metrics * Cost reduction

Facilities management systems are now suddenly in the spotlight as a top management and financial priority at colleges, universities and medical schools across the country.  The issues are cost reduction and streamlining – and the tools, resources, metrics, process changes, organizational shifts, and innovative ideas that are necessary to make that happen. 

The new higher-ed management call to action is: 

Modernize facilities management systems
Streamline operations
Cut costs 

Here's what campus management heads are currently saying:

“e-management systems for FM is HOT HOT for us and others!”
“We are now all dealing with these issues.”
“A new CMMS/workorder system this year is our #1 priority.”
“Operating cost reduction - now our top issue.”
“Last year this was ‘should do.’  Now it is ‘must do.’”
“We need to learn what's out there and what's working.”

If cost reduction and streamlining are high on your management agenda, this is a “must attend” planning meeting for you and your key management people (facilities, operations, financial and IT).  Two days at this conference will provide a blueprint for annual savings amounting to millions of dollars.

Here you’ll find out (12 reasons to be part of this meeting):

1. Where others are realizing (and targeting) big cost savings
2. What your own institution’s best streamlining options are
3. Who the leaders are that you need to be talking with
4. How new metrics systems are delivering significant cost-cutting results
5. What’s being achieved with the new CMMS & space management systems
6. What specific software systems have to offer, and which ones are working
7. How Web-based e-management strategies are streamlining operations
8. How handheld PDAs are impacting operations
9. Why and how FM systems are being integrated with enterprise systems
10. Which new systems efficiently manage small capital projects
11. Which implementation strategies for software systems work, and which ones don’t
12. What process and management changes should be realized with technology initiatives

Attend as a team and make this program an integral part of your group’s facilities and infrastructure management planning and budgeting effort.

I look forward to seeing you in Tampa!
